Det har gått litt tid sidan eg sist oppdaterte bloggen min her, men eg har fått strikka litt i mellomtida. Første juledag byrja eg på ein vest til meg sjølv. Etter eit par dagar med intens strikking, synte det seg at noko hadde gått skikkeleg gale. Trass i at eg følgde mønsteret til punkt og prikke, vart vesten altfor liten. Ikkje berre litt, i staden for å passe til meg er han knapt nok stor nok til veslesystera mi på 10 år. Eg har (heldigvis) ikkje noko bilete av den ferdige vesten, men her kan de sjå korleis han skulle verte.
On Christmas day I began knitting a waistcoat to myself. After some days of intens knitting I realised that something had gone really wrong. The waistcoat was way too small. Despite that followed the pattern completely, it fits my 10-year-old sister much better than me. I don't have a picture of the disaster, but here you can see what it was supposed to look like.
Etter den store vestfiaskoen, drog eg for å handle inn til eit nytt strikkeprosjekt.
After the waistcoast disaster, I bought some for a new knitting project.
Eg fann ut eg skulle strikke meg ein genser.
I decided to knit myself a sweater.
Mønster/Pattern: Oxford (woman)
Garn/Yarn: Alpakka 2
Julegåvene eg strikka vart passa nokon, medan eg hadde strikka hue og vottar litt for små til minstemann.
My Christmas knitting came in use for some, while the mittens and the hat for my youngest cousin were to small.
Have you finished the striped sweater yet? I love the colors!

I'm done knitting, just have to put it together. Hopefully there will be pictures in a few days.
